Review
"This excellent historical survey . . . is the first effort I know of to deal comprehensively with the African experience outside Africa and the Middle East. The subject is vast and requires a breadth of knowledge that professional historians, who normally study colonies or former colonies of only one of the European nations involved in the enslavement of Africans, are unlikely to possess."--George M. Frederickson,
The New Republic
